IT'S A little late to be coming up with New Years Resolutions, but then again when am I ever on time? If I haven't rambled on about it enough (which again, is a strong tradition of my own), over the past few weeks I've had to deal with a lot of issues - both life and wardrobe-related. I've taken a step back from life for a few days and have returned home to reflect on what I've been doing with myself for the past few years. The outcome? Work. Lots of it. And after a few/twelve naps and lots of carb consumption I've found a new lease of life - as the title of this post may suggest. I'm not one for Bucket Lists but this summer I'm planning on doing a lot of things to really take me out of my comfort zone. TBC..

The wardrobe stapes have also gained a new lease of life. Remember that style-crisis I was having a few weeks ago? The crisis is no more, and I've found myself completely at home in all-black basics (as usual), elasticated waistbands and the flattest of flats. Style-crisis? Try mid-life-crisis.
